The Crew Cuts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Love you, I love you, I love you
At the beach, in a pool
In a lunchroom at school
In a drive-in, child, in a car
It don't matter, darlin', where you are
I don't know how to show
How I feel, but it's real
Ain't no way I can say
Just how real that I feel, but
I wanna show you how I can please you
'Cause I want you and I need you
Gotta have you, gotta know you
Let me love you and let me show you that
